A Combined CNN-LSTM Network for Ship Classification on SAR Images by Abdelmalek Toumi, Jean-Christophe Cexus, Ali Khenchaf, Mahdi Abid

“…However, its use in machine learning-based automatic target classification faces challenges, including the limited availability of SAR target training samples and the inherent constraints of SAR images, which provide less detailed features compared to natural images. These issues hinder the effective training of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and complicate the transfer learning process due to the distinct imaging mechanisms of SAR and natural images. …”

National Horizon Scanning for Future Crops Under a Changing UK Climate by John W. Redhead, Matt Brown, Jeff Price, Emma Robinson, Robert J. Nicholls, Rachel Warren, Richard F. Pywell

“…Spatially explicit projections of relative climatic suitability across a wide range of crops can identify which ones might be viable alternatives. Parametrising process‐based models for multiple crops is complex, so there is value in using simpler approaches to ‘horizon scan’ to identify high‐level issues and target further research. …”

Evaluating machine leaning algorithms for accuracy, stability, and among-predictors discriminability in modeling species-richness across ten datasets by Yong Cao, Tyler E. Schartel, David C. Houghton, Jared Ross, Dana M. Infante

“…While numerous machine learning (ML) algorithms for regression are available for such analyses, synthesizing outcomes across studies is challenging due to: (1) reliance on single datasets, limiting generalizability; (2) varying modeling processes; (3) inconsistent performance criteria; and (4) limited consideration of model stability and among-predictor discriminability.We addressed these issues by applying five ML algorithms—Random Forest (RF), Boosted Regression Tree (BRT), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Conditional Inference Forest (CIF), and Lasso—to ten large datasets on freshwater fish, mussels, and caddisflies. …”
